Raymond is the central development situated 1.3 km to the south of Gold Links. The 1,510 metre (4,950ft) Raymond adit was driven at the 9400 foot RL to undercut the Raymond seam and intersect the NE extension of the Golden Islet-Chicago workings. It was then extended eastwards to intersect the Volunteer-Chloride-Grand Prize line of workings. Horizontal development at Raymond totals, 3.2 km over several levels. Production ceased in the early 1940’s.
Carter is the southernmost development, 1.5 km to the south of Raymond. The 2,020 metre (6,600ft) Carter adit was driven at the 9200 foot RL to undercut the Golden Islet-Chicago workings and then extended eastwards to intersect the extensive Volunteer, Chloride and Grand Prize workings. The Carter adit was connected to the Volunteer workings via a 345 metre vertical raise. Horizontal development at Carter totals 3.6 km over several levels. Production ceased in 1982.
